(2020)Objective: To evaluate the 2-year survival rate and the cost-effectiveness of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) using three different glass ionomer cements (GICs) for restoring occlusal dentin caries lesions in primary ... -
LACK OF CYTOTOXICITY BY TRUSTWATER ECASOL? USED TO MAINTAIN GOOD QUALITY DENTAL UNIT WATERLINE OUTPUT WATER IN KERATINOCYTE MONOLAYER AND RECONSTITUTED HUMAN ORAL EPITHELIAL TISSUE MODELS
(2010)Summary: We previously showed that residual treatment of dental chair unit (DCU) supply water using the electrochemically-activated solution Trustwater Ecasol? (2.5 ppm) provided an effective long-term solution to the ... -
Longitudinal analysis of treatment of peri-implant disease utilizing magnetic resonance frequency and damping capacity analysis.
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2020)Background: Peri-implant disease has the potential to cause loss of implant stability and subsequent implant failure. Non-invasive, quantitative measures of implant stability offered by Osstell® and Periotest® devices may ... -
A longitudinal study of Staphylococcus aureus colonization in pigs in Ireland.
(2014)The emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in livestock has refocused attention on S. aureus colonization and transmission in pigs. This study investigated the effect of the S. aureus colonization ... -
Lower filamentation rates of Candida dubliniensis contribute to its lower virulence in comparison with Candida albicans
(Elsevier, 2007)Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are very closely related yeast species. In this study, we have conducted a thorough comparison of the ability of the two species to produce hyphae and their virulence in two ... -
MANAGEMENT OF DENTAL UNIT WATERLINE BIOFILMS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
(2011)Dental chair units (DCUs) use water to cool and irrigate DCU-supplied instruments and tooth surfaces and provide rinsewater during dental treatment. A complex network of interconnected plastic dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) ... -
Measurement of dental implant stability by Osstell and Periotest at three different time points: Correlation between the two devices and comparison with clinical characteristics
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2020)Abstract Measurement of dental implant stability by Osstell and Periotest at three different time points: Correlation between the two devices and comparison with clinical characteristics. Background: Implant stability is ... -
Measuring patient compliance with occlusal device wear in the management of bruxism
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2020)Background: Sleep Bruxism (SB) is a complex oral condition that is characterised by repetitive jaw-muscle activity, by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by the bracing or thrusting of the mandible. Sleep bruxism ... -
Mechanical testing protocols as performance indicators for glass-ionomers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2015)The aim of the current investigation was to identify a reproducible and discriminatory mechanical testing methodology to act as a performance indicator for glass-ionomers (GIs). The investigation is presented as a series ... -
Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaws: Prospective cohort study analysing the aetiology, microbiology, and response to surgical debridement with adjunctive leucocyte and platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF)
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2018)Background Bisphosphonates and RANK ligand inhibitors are antiresorptive medications which are prescribed for the treatment of osteoporosis and bone metastases. These medications inhibit osteoclastic action thereby ... -
